Sorry, this is going to be a LOOOOONG post, filled with lots of pictures and video. But I hope you enjoy it.
SEATTLE LIGHTS
While out in Seattle for Thanksgiving, Cora & I went to the Bellevue Botanical Garden's: Garden d'Lights with her father and stepmother. It was beautiful. There were about 500,000 mini-LED lights over all.
What did it look like?
The grapes in the vineyard were glowing…
The butterfly flitted over the flowers…
The Princess was radiant…
The Frog shimmered on the lily pad…
The Princess must have kissed the frog by the poinsettia tree!
Here's a little video that I shot of a fountain of light:
Cora and her step-mother actually did some volunteer work over the summer stringing and tying and making some of these displays.
E-MAIL LIGHTS
The next set of theses I have gotten in email. Maybe even from you.
I have always thought of doing something like this. My idea was yellow motion lights, with Santa writing his name in the snow. (Lights poking up through a chunk of white painted plywood shaped like a drift.) It will probably never happen for me, so at least someone did it.
This next one, I have gotten a couple of times with the following text.
Email text - “Good news is that I truly outdid myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after two days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down.
First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.
Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize that it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of the many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn’t take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.”
[Back to Eric] This next house, I have actually seen myself. But it was daylight, so a friend sent me these pictures… 
FROM MY CAMERA
And some pictures I've taken. This pathetic little display is my Christmas lights. I know a lighted wreath would look good right in the middle, but that's not happening this year.
Friday night, I was out doing a little Christmas and I saw this bike parked out in front of a bar. I had to take a picture.
But then I remembered that my camera also shoots video.
And "No," I'm not sure that this is a Christmas display.
